Well this last week has seen the timing belt and fluids done. I got some new tyres fitted to my new rims today and so I fitted them up after getting an alignment with my other rims. The Guys there were certain that they wouldn't fit, so they wouldn't fit them to the car, then they rattle on one of the wheel nuts and cross threaded it....grrr.

Here's some pics. 235/40/18 on AME Shallen MX 18 x 8.5 +22 fronts, and 235/40/18 on 18 x 9.5 +22 rears. Tein Super low down Style Master's and standard suspension. Rear guards not rolled as there is no need to.

finally got the new rims painted and new tires, installed the bc coilovers and the car is mobile again, need to do a engine flush, new oil, oil filter and install the turbotech boost controller.

the rims came out a totally different colour to what i was expectimg but still look very nice.

How low have you got yours sitting and are you using adjustable camber arms. Mine looks about the same hight but looks to have more camber on the wheels and i am not

using adjustable.

I will post some pic up next week

Hi Andrew. I'm using Tein adjustables with stock camber/toe/traction arms. The rear is sitting at 325mm and the front is sitting at 340mm from guard to rim centre.

Camber is a bit crazy, 3.5degrees in the rear and 2.5 in the front. Need to pull a little camber out me thinks...

Today I did 11ty-billion laps of Eastern Creek in my LOLvo at Superlap. Unfortunately, none of those laps were ON the track, but running around between all the different areas for viewing different sections of the track throughout the day.

My factory battery died while my mrs was using the Stagea yesterday. $200 later saw an Optima battery replacing it. Battery World in Brisbane has them at half the RRP of $400.

Damn, I was going to buy one but I was quoted $380. Might have to try battery world down here. Which size did you get?

Optima Part Number 8070-167, Model No 51. Hope your Battery World has the promo going & has one in stock.

I have a mono block amp running my sub & 4 ch amp running my speakers. The Optima battery I bought has 500 CCA, should be strong enough to run my stereo. :D

Nothing as exciting as you guys, but I fitted a Sped.Dock (iPhone integration) into my M35.

Works great!

So it worked alright with the radio you have on your car? Are you able to play video?

I get mine this week.

G`day All ,

Coming along nicely, Charlie!

Fitted R34 GT-T seats in the stag. t was a bit of a PITA but it's all in there now and they look/feel great.

What in the way of modifications did you need to do to make them fit?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
